Welcome to Gaia! ::

Margaret Sanger - A free race cannot be born of slave mothers.

Not necessarily pro-choice, but things that can be related to the opinion, like the one above.
Yeah

The one in your sig pwns a**.

You know what's sad, though? Somebody's gonna try to turn that around and say "OMG Sanger was a racist and wants to kill off all blacks!"

Ani DiFranco, punkish folksinger and feminist heroine, has a lot of pro-choice quotes in her songs and poems:

"Yeah, so
It took me a few years to catch on
That those days I catch everyone's eye
Correspond with those nights of the month
When the moon gleams like an egg in the sky
And men are using a sense
They don't even know they have
Just to watch me walk by
And me, I'm supposed to be sensible
Leave my animal outside to cry

But when all of nature conspires
To make me her glorious whore
It's cuz in my body i hold the secret recipe
Of precisely what life is for
And the patriarchy that looks to shame me for it
Is the same one making war
And I've said too much already
But I'll tell you something more....

To split yourself in two
Is just the most radical thing you can do!
So, girll, if that s**t ain't up to you
Then you simply are not free!
'Cause from the sunlight on my hair
To which eggs I grow to term
To the expression that I wear
All I really own is me."
(From Repreive)

"Here's a toast
To all those nurses and doctors
Who daily, provide women with a choice!
Who stand down a threat the size of Oklahoma City
Just to listen to a young woman's voice!"
(From Self Evident)

Lost Woman Song is entirely about Ani's experience with abortin and Hello Birmingham is about violence against abortion providers. But here are highlights from each:

"Now the profile of our country
looks a little less hard nosed
but that picket line persisted
and that clinic's since been closed
they keep pounding their fists on reality
hoping it will break
but I don't think there's a one of them
leads a life free of mistakes..."
(LWS)

"A bullet came to visit a doctor
in his one safe place

A bullet ensuring the right to life
whizzed past his kid and his wife
and knocked his glasses right off of his face

And the blood poured off the pulpit
yeah the blood poured down the picket lines
and the hatred was immediate, yeah
and the vengence was divine

So they went and stuffed god down the barrel of a gun
and after him they stuffed his only son"

(That's also Whoopi and Frances Fisher)

Yeah, she's the best...

I'll post quotes from others as soon as I can remember some!
